Abstract:
<strong>ABSTRACT</strong> <em>The land is Allah&rsquo;s most precious blessing for mankind. He adorned it with his countless blessings and appointed man as His vicegerent. Unfortunately, it is the man who polluted it for his own interest and now man himself is suffering from its dangerous consequences. Respiratory infections, lung cancer, cholera, hepatitis, typhoid and cardiovascular problem are but only a few of the long list diseases man has been suffering for a long time. Overcrowding in cities, increase in household and industrial waste, poisonous agricultural activities, excessive use of plastic and escalation of deforestation are the concrete reasons behind the exacerbating land pollution. That is why, land pollution has been the major concern for the whole world. Islam is a complete code of life. It is not just a set of instructions, but it is a complete guide with respect to every matter of life. Islam hates pollution and suggests strict punishment for those who are involved in such malpractices. There are many injunctions of Islam regarding land pollution and its preventions. It encourages man to plant trees, make land, water and air clean, and prohibits him to go against the nature of its environment. This is the only religion which shares its half faith in cleanliness. Therefore, man&rsquo;s duty can never be the desolation and destruction of the earth. The responsibility of Allah&rsquo;s vicegerent is of course to settle the earth and not to dispose of it in a way that is contrary to the purpose of creation. </em>

Abstract:
The mining industry is indispensable for development, and in developing countries like Ghana, it drives economic growth by generating revenue and creating job opportunities for millions of people. Nonetheless, irresponsible mining results in the deprivation of people’s right to surface land, predominantly held under customary land tenure, with agriculture as the mainstay of livelihood. Mining activities have extensive repercussions for the land tenure system, resulting in the displacement of people, the loss of land rights, and reduced control and access to land. All these impact the economic, environmental, and social conditions of the people in the community. This systematic literature review thoroughly analyzes the impact of mining on land rights in Ghana, revealing complex dynamics, challenges, and possible remedies. To achieve this, 183 of an initial pool of 495 academic journals, research papers, books, reports, policies, and legal documents were critically reviewed. This research reveals the challenges faced by mining-induced communities because of the displacement which has resulted in the loss of ancestral lands and disruption to community life. The displacement is also coupled with economic disparities and social tension. Furthermore, the ripple effects of environmental degradation, such as deforestation, water pollution, noise, and air pollution, have dire consequences on land use and ownership, particularly for communities dependent on natural resources. This review brings to light various responses and effective strategies to mitigate the negative impacts of mining on land tenure in Ghana. These include community engagement strategies, corporate social responsibility initiatives, and legal reforms. This study reveals that mining compensation depends on the duration of the mining lease, therefore implying that the expropriated parties have reversionary interests in their lands. The procedure for giving the land back to the owner is not explicitly outlined in the law. This underscores the need for a review of the law governing mining, sustainable mining practices, and environmental management to safeguard the land tenure system. This review enlightens policymakers, researchers, mining enterprises, and local communities regarding the intricacies of this convergence, offering a foundation for well-informed decision making. It underscores the crucial importance of upholding sustainable development, social fairness, and responsible resource management within the framework of Ghana’s diverse land tenure traditions.

The Fifth Plenary Session of the 18th CPC Central Committee passed the resolution to build a healthy China, which was then upgraded to a national strategy in the Outline of the Healthy China 2030 Plan issued by the CPC Central Committee and the State Council in October 2016. This paper begins with describing health development in China and then argues that despite the good foundation that has been laid for building a healthy China, the country still faces serious problems, such as healthcare services falling short of demand, people’s health and quality of life yet to be improved, the wide gap between the rich and poor and structural imbalances, serious environmental pollution, and increasing security risks. In the end, suggestions are provided from the perspectives of creating a healthy environment, improving health services, developing a healthy population, building a healthy society, and increasing support for health development to advance the Healthy China initiative.

Bangladesh is a land of rivers. The pride of Bangladesh is her rivers with one of the largest networks in the world. The Rivers of Bangladesh play an important role in the wealth of our country. The prosperity of agriculture and fisheries are depending on the rivers. But our resourceful rivers become polluted day by day due to over growth of population and uncontrolled industrialization and urbanization, which is deploying harmful impacts both on human health as well as aquatics ecosystem and environment. Improper management of industrial and seawage effluents are major causes of river water pollution. The microorganisms within the water are prime sources to cause different water borne diseases like Diarrhea, Cholera, Scabies, Asthma etc. To find out the remedies to this problem, urgent emphasis should be given on preventive measures and to take appropriate steps to improve the existing pollution of the rivers. A lots of water treatment systems like physical chemical treatments, microbial remediation, wetland remediation etc. are being practiced throughout the world to restore the health of the rivers. So, our government should take necessary steps to prevent river water as soon as possible.

Abstract:
Summary Liability for damage caused to the environment in the past is applied in the Czech Republic also to damage caused by the state enterprises to privatized property. Thus it was necessary to resolve the question of the person to be held liable for this damage after the state enterprise has been dissolved. The necessary prerequisite of the liability is the examination of damage. In the past this was never performed and only the privatization brought about this need. lt was the Act No. 92/1991 C.L. which in ž 6a laid down the duty to assess ecological covenants of the enterprise which was about to be privatized. The Czech law possesses no special regulation of the liability for environmental damage caused in the past. lt is therefore possible to assert the rights arising from the Civil Code provisions on the liability for damage (yet these are often statute barred due to the lapse of the limitation period) alongside the measures taken by the state agencies against these who are liable for the harm done to the environment. Administrative remedies awarded for damage caused in the past are applicable by the appropriate agencies against these who are liable or their legal successors. These include persons who took over the possession of the privatized state property encumbered with ecological damage. Administrative remedies can be granted subject to the provisions of the Act on Waters, Act on the Protection of Nature and the Landscape, and the Act on Waste. Yet only the Act on Waste stipulates that it is the owner of the land who is responsible for the elimination of the waste unless the person who disposed of the waste on this land is identified. Thus another problem arises, i.e. who shall be liable for the past damage provided the person who caused it has not been identified. The government of the Czech Republic decided that in the course of privatization of its property the state shall use the resources of the Fund of National Property to cover the costs incurred by the rectification of damage consisting in the pollution of water or soil as well as in the existence of dumping grounds where the waste was produced by the state enterprises’ activities on the land. The detailed conditions of covering the costs are set in the Czech Republic Government Resolution No 123 of 1993. Subsequent procedure of applying the liability for damage caused to the environment in the past should consist in completing its itemized list. This is the prerequisite for the systematic resolution of the issue whose progress will also depend on the funds available for this purpose.

Abstract:
Human activities are considered to be contamination. Every persons wants clean water for drinking, bathing and other domestic uses, but not everybody appreciates the fact that our own actions are often the worst enemy in achieving that goal. Ground water is one of the most misused and misunderstood resources. Because ground water and its movement, and consequently also its pollution, is hidden from view beneath the land surface, the seriousness of ground water pollution problems has not been recognized until recently. The sources of manpur block ground water pollution are many and varied because in addition to natural processes practically every type of facility or structure installed by man and each and every one of his activities may eventually contribute to ground water quality problems. The quality of ground water is most commonly affected by waste disposal. Other major sources result from agricultural activities and ground water development. In addition to these three major categories, there are other potential sources of pollution, such as mining, spills, leakage from underground pipes and tanks, and road salting. All of these activities can generate pollutants which eventually may enter the ground water systems and slowly begin to move through the subsurface environment. Once under the ground, the pollutants are hidden from view and the existence of ground water pollution becomes evident only if they remerge on the surface or in water wells. When this occurs, it is almost too late to do anything about it. The effects of pollution may remain in the aquifers for years, decades, or centuries, because the residence time of ground water is very slow. Ground water pollution may even result in aquifers or parts of quifersbeing damaged beyond repair. The effects of manpur block groundwater pollution are wide. Human infectious disease is one of the more serious effects of water pollution, in this paper the overview of ground water pollution and its consequences over health and environment is taken. Also the possible remedies are discussed in the paper.

Abstract:
The Houjing River watershed is one of the three major river watersheds in the Kaohsiung City, Taiwan. Based on the recent water quality analysis, the Houjing River is heavily polluted. Both point and non-point source (NPS) pollutants are the major causes of the poor water quality in the Houjing River. Investigation results demonstrate that the main point pollution sources included municipal, agricultural, and industrial wastewaters. In this study, land use identification in the Houjing River watershed was performed by integrating the skills of geographic information system (GIS) and global positioning system (GPS). Results show that the major land-use patterns in the upper catchment of the Houjing River watershed were farmlands, and land-use patterns in the mid to lower catchment were residential and industrial areas. An integrated watershed management model (IWMM) and Enhanced Stream Water Quality Model (QUAL2K) were applied for the hydrology and water quality modeling, watershed management, and carrying capacity calculation. Modeling results show that the calculated NH3-N carrying capacity of the Houjing River was only 31 kg/day. Thus, more than 10,518 kg/day of NH3-N needs to be reduced to meet the proposed water quality standard (0.3 mg/L). To improve the river water quality, the following remedial strategies have been developed to minimize the impacts of NPS and point source pollution on the river water quality: (1) application of BMPs [e.g. source (fertilizer) reduction, construction of grassy buffer zone, and land use management] for NPS pollution control; (2) application of river management scenarios (e.g. construction of the intercepting and sewer systems) for point source pollution control; (3) institutional control (enforcement of the industrial wastewater discharge standards), and (4) application of on-site wastewater treatment systems for the polishment of treated wastewater for water reuse.

Abstract:
The aiin of this research is to investigate the process by which techniques for the remedial treatment of contaminated land evolve. This is accomplished through the study of the relationships between: environmental policy and law; industrial practice; and research and development. Previous studies of the barriers and driving forces of such development have tended to be from a technical point of view. However, this research aims to explore the dynamics of technological innovation. Structured interviews, questionnaires and case studies were used to collect qualitative data from a cross section of the contaminated land industry. Interview transcripts were produced and subsequently, after consultation with the interviewees, presented as synoptic summaries including contextual information. Ile interview, questionnairea nd case study information is critically assessedw ith referencet o relevant contextual information. The following areas are discussed: public opinion; regulation and policy; uncertainty and development; political lobbying; measures intended to stimulate the use of treatment techniques; and, the relationship between vendors, consultants and property developers. It is concluded that: the development of treatment techniques is dependent upon the incremental accumulation of knowledge by politicians, scientists and the developers of remedial treatment techniques and that differences in these phenomena can result in "friction" in relation to the development of remedial treatment techniques. Particular emphasis is placed upon the adoption of pragmatic, deregulatory approachest o the regulation of contaminatedl and and the adoption of risk managementa pproachesI.t is emphasised that uncertainty relating to the performance of treatment techniques remains, particularly in relation to treatment time and cost. It is concluded that the commercial success of a treatment technique depends as much upon its ability to comply with the managerial constraints on the redevelopment process as upon its technical proficiency.

Abstract:
Measurements of the radioactive content of environmental samples are potentially very costly, especially when these are made ex situ in a laboratory. A less expensive alternative is to acquire in situ measurements in the field. Both measurement types are subject to uncertainties, some of which arise from different sources depending on the measurement method used. Surveys on radioactively contaminated land found that in situ measurements produced results that were as useful in satisfying the typical objectives of such surveys as ex situ measurements. The random component of analytical uncertainty estimated from duplicated in situ measurements was 2-4 times higher than would have been expected from Poisson statistics, however the sampling uncertainty (0-10 %) was found to be much lower than that for ex situ measurements (44-73 %). This resulted from the combined effects of high heterogeneity of the target radionuclide (137Cs) in the ground, and the comparatively large primary sample mass associated with in situ measurements of gamma-emitting radionuclides. A large sampling mass also means that in situ measurements have an advantage in finding small hotspots of activity, although they may not provide sufficient resolution for spatially mapping lateral distributions of contaminants for remediation purposes. The degree of resolution can be readily changed in the field, however, by the simple expedient of changing the detector height. Experiments with an in situ detector close to the ground surface enabled the position of a small hotspot to be determined to within a few centimetres. To evaluate activity concentrations in the soil, assumptions need to be made about the dimensions of the measured sample, and the distributions of activity within it. This requires some information that might be best obtained from ex situ measurements of excavated samples. However, well planned in situ surveys have the potential to significantly reduce the requirement for these expensive laboratory measurements. A new method of optimising the design of in situ surveys has been developed, based on a generic model for predicting the detector response to small particles of activity at different positions relative to the detector. The new mathematical model used by this method compares well with field measurements, and also with predictions made using a commercially available calibration program.

Abstract:
The investigation and remediation of land contaminated with metals (copper, nickel, lead and zinc) was investigated. Calcium, iron and manganesele vels within the soils studied were also investigated. Several soils were used to assessth e three-stageB CR sequential extraction procedure and recent recommended modifications to this procedure. In general the modifications to the procedure were found to increase levels of copper, lead and iron extracted by the reductant used in the procedure. The modified BCR sequential extraction procedure was then used to assess the success of remediation strategies. Column leaching experiments, with EDTA, were set up to simulate soil-flushing technologies. Soil was extracted using the BCR procedure both before and after treatment. The experiments highlighted the need to consider the soil characteristics when determining a remediation strategy. The technique was shown to be successful for the leaching of the more mobile forms of copper, lead and zinc from the soils studied. Phytoremediation and chelate assisted phytoremediation were also investigated using the BCR sequential extraction procedure. Taraxacum officianale (dandelion) was grown in soil contaminated with zinc. The experiment was designed to study the ability of the plant to accumulate metals and also to study the effect of the addition of the chelator EDTA and the effect of the addition of a fertiliser. These methods were shown to remove significant proportions of zinc, copper and lead from the soil studied, however the time frame for remediation based on such techniques may be considerably longer than that for conventional methods.

Abstract:
Land use and traffic volume are major contributors to the growing problem of noise pollution in urban and suburban areas worldwide. This study examines the relationship between urban land use patterns, traffic volume, and noise pollution at key intersections in Quetta city, such as Manan (MAN), General Post Office (GPO), Dukani Baba (DKN), Khaizi (KHZ), and Shaheed Nawab Akbar Bugti (SNAB) Intersections. The android application tools such as Traffic volume count and Sound meter was used to record traffic volume and noise levels respectively on both weekdays and weekends. The findings correlate noise levels with land use types (i.e. Residential, Commercial, Institutional and Recreational) and traffic volume, revealing that noise pollution is significantly higher in areas with dense commercial activities. For instance, the noise levels reached 79 dB and 82.7 dB during peak traffic hours at the MAN and KHZ intersections, respectively. This highlights the considerable impact of urban land use and traffic intensity on noise levels. The study underscores the importance of urban planners and policymakers incorporating noise pollution mitigation into development plans, given its impact on the environment and traffic patterns. To address this issue, the study recommended measures such as optimized traffic flow, noise barriers, and zoning with the aim of balancing environmental sustainability with urban growth and improving the quality of life.

Abstract:
Soil contamination near waste dumps is a complex problem, landfills are major contributors to environmental pollution, causing continuous degradation of land surfaces and significant environmental consequences. The challenge in question is to combat soil degradation and heavy metal pollution by implementing targeted soil protection measures and policies. Soil pollution disrupts the delicate balance of nutrients within the soil. This study focuses on assessing the impact of heavy metals by collecting soil samples in 5 different locations at a depth of 50 cm around a landfill and subsequently determining the concentration of heavy metals in the soil. The analysis involved the use of the NITON XL3t. XRF Analyzer device for measuring heavy metal concentrations, while pH levels in the soil samples were determined using a pH meter WTW 3310. Results from the soil sample analysis reveal that the concentrations of most heavy metals exceeded both national and international maximum allowable values. The majority of metals analyzed exhibited median values higher than those found in European soil. To better understand the metal concentrations in soil, basic statistical methods, Pearson correlation, and cluster analysis were employed. Ongoing environmental monitoring around landfills is crucial to alleviate adverse effects on human populations and the environment. To address these causes of land pollution, it is important to implement sustainable waste management policies and practices and to develop general awareness of the importance of environmental stewardship in the district where we live.

Abstract:
The area of the town of Mailuu Suu, Kyrgyzstan, is polluted by radionuclides and heavy metals in tailing dumps and heaps resulting from the historic exploitation of U-mines in the Mailuu Suu area in Kyrgyzstan. Radioactive substances are stored in 23 tailings and 13 mining debris heaps situated along the Mailuu Suu River. The objective of the EC-TACIS funded project is to evaluate and prepare measures to be taken by the authorities to reduce the radiological exposure of the population and to prevent environmental pollution by radionuclides and heavy metals in case of loss of tightness of dams and damage to dumps and heaps from mining and milling by land and mudslides and to propose sustainable remedial options, accepted by the public. The actual radiological situation is of no immediate concern for most of the population of Mailuu Suu. From the gamma radiation monitoring campaign (monitoring network in Mailuu Suu, Kara Agach and vicinity), it showed that the background radiation is 100–120 nSv/h. On the tailings radiation is on average twice background. The average outside and in-house radon concentration is 175 Bq/m3. In 3 of the houses monitored at Kara Agach the radon level is between the exemption limit for new (200 Bq/m3) and old (400 Bq/m3) houses. The concentration of uranium in the Mailuu Suu river water is far below the exemption limit for drinking water set in Kyrgyzstan. Additional dose from irrigation with Mailuu Suu river water is small in actual conditions (&lt; 0.1 mSv/year). However, there is an important possibility that triggered by an eathquake or a landslide, (part of the) tailing(s) content may be directed to the river Mailuu Suu. Doses to the affected population may increase to multiple ten mSv per annum. Given the actual limited stability of Tailing N°3, the potental of such a disaster to occur isnon-neglegible. To impede the consequences of a potential disaster, under the TACIS project different remedial options are evaluated for Tailing 3 including in situ stabilisation and tailing translocation. Also more global remedial options for the Mailuu Suu River valley are studied (translocation of other tailings, tunnel to deviate river, partial protection of river from landslide blockage). It was proposed to acquire a phased approach in time performing urgent limited stabilisation options for Tailing 3, improve the stability of the Tailing 3 by COLMIX-columns in the medium term, while investigating and evaluating further two long-term remedial options: the translocation of the tailings and the long-right-bank river diversion tunnel.

Full text
Abstract:
The purpose of this note is to document data sources and steps used to develop the air pollution database for the GTAP Data Base Version 10A. Emissions for nine substances are reported in the database: black carbon (BC), carbon monoxide (CO), ammonia (NH3), non-methane volatile organic compounds (NMVOC), nitrogen oxides (NOx), organic carbon (OC), particulate matter 10 (PM10), particulate matter 2.5 (PM2.5) and sulfur dioxide (SO2). The dataset covers four reference years – 2004, 2007, 2011 and 2014. EDGAR Version 5.0 database is used as the main data source. To assist with emissions redistribution across consumption-based sources, IIASA GAINS-based model and IPCC-derived emission factors are applied. Each emission flow is associated with one of the four sets of emission drivers: output by industries, endowment by industries, input use by industries and household consumption. In addition, emissions from land use activities (biomass burning) are estimated by land cover types. These emissions are reported separately without association with emission drivers.

Full text
Abstract:
Coastal areas are typically densely populated, with high levels of social and economic activity, and distinct environmental challenges arising from climate change impacts, land degradation, and environmental pollution. Poor and remote coastal communities are particularly vulnerable to environmental change and variability due to livelihood dependencies on natural resources, which are easily disrupted or subject to losses from hydrometeorological hazards, and vulnerable to the impacts of marine pollution. Given the strong contextualisation of poverty and vulnerability dynamics, this rapid evidence review takes a country case study approach, reviewing examples of country specific regional drivers to understand emerging themes and research gaps for understanding and responding to the specific vulnerabilities facing coastal communities, to review examples of community roles played in local resource governance, and the impacts of non-extractive marine pollution.

Analyzing Transportation, Climate, and Unintended Consequences of Supply Chain Solutions. Mineta Transportation Institute, 2023. http://dx.doi.org/10.31979/mti.2023.2231.

Full text
Abstract:
In response to COVID-19 pandemic supply chain issues, the State of California issued Executive Order (EO) N-19-21 to use state land to increase warehousing capacity. This highlights a land-use paradox between economic and environmental goals: adding warehouse capacity increases climate pollution and traffic congestion around the ports and warehouses, while there is a deficit of affordable housing and high homeless rates in port-adjacent underserved communities. This study aims to inform regional policymakers and community stakeholders about these trade-offs by identifying current and future supply of and demand for warehousing and housing in Southern California through 2040. The study uses statistical analysis and forecasting, and evaluates across numerous scenarios the environmental impact of meeting demand for both with the Community LINE Source Model. Warehousing and housing are currently projected to be in high demand across Southern California in future decades, despite short-run adjustments in the post-pandemic period of inflation and net declines in population. Using state land for warehousing creates environmental justice concerns, as the number of air pollution hotspots increases even with electrifying trucking fleets, especially when compared against low-impact affordable housing developments. However, low-income housing demand appears to be positively correlated with unemployment, suggesting that the jobs provided by warehousing development might help to ameliorate that concern.

Abstract:
This rapid evidence review compiles findings on the environmental impacts of illicit drug production, focusing on water and soil pollution, ecosystem health, land use change, and waste management. It highlights the complexity of the issue, with significant gaps in understanding the long-term effects on ecosystems. The review also examines how prohibitionary drug policies may exacerbate environmental harm. Key findings include distinct regional patterns of drug use, complex relationships between land use change and drug production, and the persistence of biologically active compounds in water systems. Limited data and lack of cross-agency collaboration present challenges in addressing these issues effectively.

Abstract:
This research report investigates the practice of stubble burning in Munshiganj, Bangladesh, examining its causes, impacts, and potential alternatives. Although stubble burning is a traditional practice, it remains a prevalent method used by farmers for land fertility, potash supplementation, insect control, and cost management. However, this practice contributes to air and environmental pollution and poses public health risks, particularly for children. The report presents alternative uses for stubble, such as organic fertilizer and cooking fuel, and proposes policy measures to regulate the practice. By examining the complex socio-economic and environmental factors that contribute to stubble burning in Munshiganj, this report offers valuable insights into potential solutions for mitigating its negative impacts.

Abstract:
Uzbekistan is becoming more efficient in using water and energy resources. However, the pressure on natural capital still remains and the development of renewable energy sources is slow. The natural asset base of Uzbekistan's economy, including land and forest, needs more maintenance. The environmental dimensions of Uzbekistan’s population quality of life, including access to sewerage and solid waste collection systems are improving. At the same time, challenges remain in outdoor air pollution. Energy subsidies are still high and environmental expenditures are small. Tariffs for water and energy use do not represent the cost. Uzbekistan needs to tap into more economic opportunities for the transition to a green economy. Data on green growth indicators for Uzbekistan is fragmented and inconsistent. It will benefit if it becomes harmonised with international measurement methods and better data coordination.

Full text
Abstract:
Species distribution modelling is a valuable tool for identifying areas most at risk of the spread of invasive species. Here we model the environmental factors governing the distributions of two invasive species of concern that are currently found in Sweden at only a limited number of locations: the aquatic macrophyte Elodea nuttallii (Nuttall’s waterweed / smal vattenpest) and the bivalve Dreissena polymorpha (Zebra mussel / vandrarmussla). For E.nuttallii, the greatest risk factors are connectivity with other water bodies (facilitating dispersion), human population density and length of growing season. This implies that it is principally well-connected lakes in populated areas of southern Sweden that are most at risk of further spread (although other areas of concern are identified). For D.polymorpha, water alkalinity and the proportion of agricultural land (a source of nutrient pollution) are the most important factors, and the models identify lakes Vänern and Vättern, waters in parts of Östergötland, Jämtland and Gotland as key areas of concern for further spread.
